My grandson turned 1 today - how lucky we are to have him in our family. We had a party at my mom's yesterday. Dominic had a special birthday surprise - his dad showed up on our doorstep yesterday morning. This is Brian's leave before he leaves for Iraq. He was not supposed to be home until next weekend but somehow he managed to get a few extra days and was able to be home for his son's first birthday. Tomorrow I will put up pictures - it has been a crazy weekend for us.
When Dominic was born last year, I was very leery of him being born on the 22nd. That was the first anniversary of our son's funeral. The saddest day of our lives but now a new person to love! I just wasn't sure you could celebrate and grieve at the same time. But it is possible.
I did not know Dominic shares Karen's birthday. How special is that! Happy Birthday, Dominic and Karen!
